Plate N° 02 / The Shop

We Don't Farm It Out.

BlackCat Media is a solo design studio built on the same principles as a good mechanic shop. Honest work, fair price, no runaround. Every project that comes through the door gets handled by one person. Not a team of interns. Not outsourced.

One shop. One standard.

We specialize in brand identity, print, and merch. The kind of work that has to hold up in the real world. On a shirt. On a storefront. In someone's hand at a trade show.

Built with grit. Designed to work.

Standard

Honest Work

No smoke. You know what you're getting and what it costs before anything moves.

Standard

Real Hands

Your project isn't handed off. It's built by the same person you emailed day one.

Standard

Faith Grounded

Work done with integrity. Relationships that last past the invoice.

Standard

Print Ready

Files that actually work at the printer. No surprises on press day.

Drag To Read

Julio provided us exactly what we needed and wanted for our new logo. It was such a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend his services. You won't be disappointed.

Aaron B.

AZ Garage Floors

Julio is such a professional creative with a heart to understand and capture the vision and bring it to life!

Fernando M.

Social Church

Our church has worked with BlackCat Media for our video and graphic needs and they have been amazing. For a small church that doesn't have a graphics person on staff, having BlackCat step in to help us creatively, creating great videos and graphics that rival large churches, is a huge help to reach people.

Josh R.

Community Covenant Church

BlackCat Media worked on testimonial videos for our fundraiser banquet for ABCS. They were able to capture our client's story in a way that brought the vulnerability and hope of that story to the audience. They do great work and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Plate N° 08 / The Manual

A lot of studios are too busy to work on their own brand. We get it. Client work pays the bills. But if we can't be intentional about our own identity, what does that say about the care we bring to yours? BlackCat runs on a full brand system. Documented, deliberate, built to the same standard we hold every client project to. No cobbler's kids here.
